Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne says her government will try to expedite the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the province to coincide with Justin Trudeau's bold commitment to bring in 25,000 refugees by the end of the year.

"We need to align with what the new government is going to do,'' Wynne said.

Don't blame me... I didn't vote for them.

Around 700 of the 4,000 refugees who have been housed in Lower Saxony over the past week have gone missing and authorities mostly have no idea who or where they are.

No one seems to be worried that a set of Syrian documents including passports can be bought all over the middle east.

This disastrous one-child policy created a society without enough women to ensure most people could have a chance at choosing a mate. Reversing that decision 30 years later is, curiously, being presented as an economic policy.

"The party is seeking to eradicate poverty as defined under current standards, lifting the country’s remaining 70 million poor people above the poverty line by the end of the decade."

Oh, by the way... good news, dudes, in another 20 years, there may also be enough marriageable women to stave off societal collapse.

Don't you worry, though... Justin's still a believer.And a feminist...

During the event, which itself was widely criticized for sexist and patronizing undertones, an audience member asked Mr. Trudeau which nation’s “administration he most admired.”

To which Justin replied...

“There is a level of admiration I actually have for China because their basic dictatorship is allowing them to actually turn their economy around on a dime and say 'we need to go green.'"

Sadly, our boy wonder cum leader is talking out his bunghole...

Given decades of environmental neglect and China’s heavy reliance on coal — which produces 70% of the country’s energy — it would be difficult to produce a dramatic improvement quickly.

Kathleen Wynne's Liberals will be taking a bigger bite out of your equity...

“Ontario home buyers are already charged a provincial land transfer tax, so by adding a municipal tax, they’re essentially doubling the tax burden on Ontario families,” said Patricia Verge, president of OREA, in a release.

“If the Ontario Liberals follow through with this plan, homebuyers will be forced to pay $10,000 in total land transfer taxes on the average priced home in Ontario, starting as early as next year.”

Since 2010, homeowners in the center of the universe have been bending over and grabbing their ankles for their Liberal overlords...

On a $1 million home in the city, the buyer must pay a tax of $16,475 to the province and a $15,725 tax to Toronto.

Unfortunately for Wynne, the size of the meal keeps growing: from $2.5 million paid to three unions when the news broke a week ago, the figure quickly grew to $3.7 million, and on Tuesday was reported to be as high as $7.1 million.

Remember, this is the story the Globe & Mail refused to run on election day because it would've blown back at Wynne favourite Justin (PILF) Trudeau.

The initial monologue from Yatim, who had chased off all the passengers by swinging his knife at a young woman and then parading up the aisle with his penis in his left hand and the knife in the other, was little short of crazed.

Bear in mind that the woman in question has said she would have had her throat slashed had she not jerked back out of the way. In non-Justin circles, we call that attempted murder.

So, switchblade in one fist... his dick in the other... screaming racial invective...

"Facts are stubborn things, but it is probably asking too much for anti-cop bigots to recognize them. Yet for the president of the United States to cheer their movement is more than a mistake. It is another tragic illustration of how Obama is taking America backward."

Exactly what sort of facts are we talking about here?

"The New York City murder rate is typical. Year in, year out, about 90 percent of homicide victims are nonwhite males, as are 90 percent of their killers."

Funny how seldom things like that get mentioned in the media. And that's incredibly corrosive and misleading.

"For the president to emphasize that there are brutal and racist cops, presumably white, without citing the staggering rate of black-on-black crime distorts both problems."

Now that Canada has elected Justin "Obama Lite" Trudeau, will we see a similar swing to so called "progressive" values?

Unfortunately, despite Bruce Jenner's newfound celebrity as the latest & greatest Kardashian sister, if there is a solution to transgender morbidity, it resides outside the surgical realm.

Anyone who looks at the academic literature, as compiled by folks like the National Institutes of Health, will see that the suicide rate for pre & post-op transsexuals is nearly identical at just over 40%.

Persons with transsexualism, after sex reassignment, have considerably higher risks for mortality, suicidal behaviour, and psychiatric morbidity than the general population.

Our findings suggest that sex reassignment, although alleviating gender dysphoria, may not suffice as treatment for transsexualism, and should inspire improved psychiatric and somatic care after sex reassignment for this patient group.

The established facts, which the transgendered community do their best to suppress, show that transsexualism is a psychiatric condition that is not "cured" by cutting off your existing genitalia and replacing them with a surgical facsimile.

It's all there in black and white...

The review of more than 100 international medical studies of post-operative transsexuals by the University of Birmingham's aggressive research intelligence facility (Arif) found no robust scientific evidence that gender reassignment surgery is clinically effective.

Actually, it's worse than that...

Research from the US and Holland suggests that up to a fifth of patients regret changing sex.

I have a vision of Bill, the master of the form, sitting in the darkness off the stage where she was prepping for this event. “Hillary, dammit. One more time. Really look like you’re mad. Think of... no, never mind. Not Monica mad... just normal mad.”

...52 million dollars there... pretty soon you're talkin' real money...Let's ask the people who use the system what they think...

The additional costs include $15.7 million to hire more IT staff at the ministry and to train social assistance case workers who complained the SAMS program was too complicated and too time consuming for them to use.

Now let's ask Liberal Social Assistance Minister Helena Jaczek...

“They’re finding the situation stable, they can rely on it,” said Jaczek. “They’re being relieved of some of the manual tasks they had to do in terms of calculation of benefits and so on.”

Anyway, the proof is in the pudding, as they say...

At one point last December, just a month after it went online, SAMS queued up $20 million in overpayments for people living on social assistance.

Remember, these are the same people who have gifted us with the highest electricty rates in North America.

FROM THE COMMENTS:

"It’s great to see Justin is keeping his election promise of spending on 'infrastructure'. He’s starting with 'himself'. His mother Margaret (the new PMO spokesperson?) told CBC, the golden couple won’t be moving into 24 Sussex right away because it needs $10 MILLION dollars of renovations."

No surprise here, I guess... Justin's expense account as a director of the Katimavik program would have made Caligula blush.

“It is a bad news for us. Canada was a major partner in the coalition and it was a great help to Kurdistan,” Jabar Yawar, chief of staff for the Kurdish Regional Government’s Peshmerga Ministry said in an interview posted Wednesday about Mr. Trudeau’s plan to end this country’s combat operations in Iraq and Syria.

A spokesman for Mr. Trudeau declined to comment on the comments from the Kurdish peshmerga.

I bet he did.

"In an election based on proportional representation... the Liberals would drop from 184 to 135 seats, while the Conservatives would inch up from 99 to 108 and the NDP would have a much higher profile with 68 seats instead of its current 44."

“While Mr Trudeau is the product of two political families — his father was prime minister — he came to politics late, after working as a snowboard instructor.”

So much for Canada ever being taken seriously again on the world stage. The only way this could be worse is if pictures of Justin as a mime start to surface on social media.

The lad himself has the media savvy of the selfie generation, and can more or less handle the bofferball questions from a sympathetic press."

"His sincerity shines when it comes to a small range of policy enthusiasms, such as the legalization of marijuana and brothels, and he is visibly convinced that peace is much nicer than war.

If the party receiving the plurality of the votes passes a 40% threshold, it is attributed a minimum of 340 seats (54%). The remaining 277 seats are allocated to the other parties in a proportional fashion, and no second round takes place.

Italy has had over 60 fractious governments in the 70 years since World War II.

"The Liberals promised to up that to 25,000, beginning immediately. The platform promises to spend $250 million, including $100 million in the current fiscal year, 'to increase Syrian refugee processing, as well as sponsorship and settlement services.'”

That's $10,000 per refugee, right? That just might cover welfare housing & food for one year, but let's remember these people are not well educated, don't speak the language and have had minimal health care, so that figure needs to be multiplied, probably by at least four to cover "sponsorship and settlement services."

And it needs to be spent every year until Ahmad is employable. Call it a billion dollars yearly.

That's just one Justin promise... and it doesn't improve a single middle class Canadian life.

That's what you voted for, Canada. They promised us billions of dollars in deficit spending, and fuddle my sainted duddle, they'll deliver.

From the heart outwards, baby.

P.S. - Remember the Liberals "revenue neutral" long gun registry? Allan Rock promised that it would "pay for itself" through user fees.

Two billion dollars later, the Conservatives had to shoot the ailing beast and put it's crippled ass out of it's non-functional misery.

Dalton McGuinty's "Green Plan," adopted by Kathleen Wynne has put Ontario 8 billion dollars in the red. In Ontario, we now pay the highest electricity rates in North America. It is killing manufacturing jobs daily.

Government exists to perpetuate itself. Bureaucrats must spend all the money they're given or their budgets will be cut. Justin promised to slash a hole in Canada's national purse and enough people got on board that it's actually gonna happen.

...Canada's answer to Paris Hilton is even on the ballot makes me fear for my country...

Harper successfully led Canada through the worst recession since the Great Depression, emerging in better shape than almost any other developed country.

Since then, he has successfully balanced the federal budget and positioned Canada for modest surpluses for the next four years.

There are two serious issues facing Canada right now: Ongoing economic uncertainty, and an increasingly unstable situation in the Middle East. In the face of the worst economic downturn in a generation, Harper has made sure that Canada remains on secure economic footing, something both his opponents’ plans put at risk.

When it comes to confronting ISIL and the threat of global terror more generally, only the Conservatives are prepared to treat the matter with the strength of conviction it deserves.

In terms of career experience, all the 43-year-old’s chalked up is a couple years as a teacher in British Columbia. After that, he entered an engineering program but soon dropped out, then started another MA program but dropped that too. He became an MP shortly after, in 2008.

In other words, Justin Trudeau spent the years before entering politics dabbling in this and that, drifting about without any commitment to work or school.

17 October 2015

Remember, your local police force... (excuse me, police service)... aren't the guys who pump out your septic tank and prevent all that shit from backing up into your home.

That, my friend, is on you.

Contemporary "Peace Officers" are the bored functionaries who show up after you're knee deep in liquified turds, tear up your sodden, stinking backyard and leave you struggling with the bill.

You want peace of mind & safety of person, it's all up to you, Van Damme. Too many cops these days are box ticking bureaucrats or obvious affirmative-action lottery winners (encoutered a largish female officer recently who would've had trouble with a flight of stairs, nevr mind a drunk, dusted up biker). For the moment, they still get to tote guns, (although Gawd & CBC forbid they should actually use them) but that may change under Justin "From the Heart Outward" Trudeau.

Unlike all those popular television shows, the police do not anticipate, calculate, isolate and otherwise prevent crimes. There is no magical carp breeding database a la CSI Miami that utilises electron microscopy & fish mites to take down aspiring Unabombers.

Let's look at just one particularly egregious example.

"An Ohio man had a 14-year-old girl dropped off at his home, held her captive for months, raped her and impregnated her."

Well, bad (even horrific) things happen in this screwed up world, right? It's not like anybody could have seen that com... wait a minute...

Hang on a second... can we assume the electronic bracelet wasn't simply an offbeat fashion statement?

"Jackson contacted the teenager through Facebook in February after pleading not guilty an abduction case involving two females who said he held them against their will at a hotel in Blue Ash, Ohio in 2014."

So this freak had a history of abducting women and still no alarm bells?

Seems no one was able to see what was going on despite all the clues. Electronic monitoring, unscheduled visits and Jackson still pulls this off. The only thing the cops didn't do was bring this guy beer and pizza. It was even total happenstance that this guy was even caught.

"Jackson was arrested in Utah last week when he tried to run away from drug task force officers conducting a routine stop at a bus station."

Moral of the story? Like I said, it's all on you. Just something to consider at 3am and you wake up to the sound of breaking glass.

Why would this take anyone by surprise?It's already happening right here in staid, boring Canada.

COUNTERPOINT:

The reason we voted for Harper, despite his shortcomings, was because this election does indeed come down to values, and the value we cherish is responsibility. Responsibility is the opposite of entitlement.

Anyone can promise unicorns and rainbows if they max out the credit card. New infrastructure, bigger family benefits, fatter CPP cheques, the list of Liberal goodies is endless. But just because interest rates are low, doesn’t mean you borrow to buy more house than you can afford.

In the email, a copy of which was obtained by The Canadian Press, Justin Trudeau's national campaign co-chair Dan Gagnier advises five TransCanada Corp. officials to target the right people in a new government as quickly as possible so they can help shape either Liberal or NDP decisions on a national energy strategy.

So Justin's national campaign co-chair is out on his ass for the political equivalent of insider trading and, of course, the Liberal Party issues a statement blaming the controversy on the Conservatives and their "negative and mean-spirited politics."

Seems to me it's a little simpler than that...

Conservative campaign spokesman Stephen Lecce dismissed Trudeau and the Liberals as "a party run by elite insiders who sell their influence to the highest bidder to the detriment of taxpayers."

Funny isn't it... Justin's always characterising the Prime Minister as a lackey of the big corporations.

WHO IS JUSTIN'S CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIR?

The co-chair of the Liberal election campaign started working for TransCanada Corp. last spring, providing advice to the firm on its controversial Energy East pipeline project at the same time as he was trying to help Justin Trudeau win the next election.

You took risks, made sacrifices and worked hard to become a Canadian citizen. Don’t let Harper take that away. Changes made by the Harper Conservatives will create two classes of citizenship and give a politician the right to revoke your citizenship without a trial.

Only Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party will protect you, your family and all Canadians by repealing the unfair sections of Bill C-24.

Fact: C24 applies only to people who choose not to renounce their former alliegance and become exclusively Canadian citizens.

"Ontario will add $50 million a year to the $20 million it already spends on 'assisted reproduction.'"

Kathleen Wynne, despite running horrific deficits and apparently unconcerned about the possible appearance of a conflict of interest, will now use additional tens of millions of taxpayer dollars annually to subsidise in-vitro fertilisation.

Obviously, one of the significant demographics interested in IVF will be women suffering from so-called “social infertility” - that is, women who reject the increasingly obsolete and icky idea of male-female procreation... (which would've absolutely, positively in no way influenced Ontario's first gay Premier).

But, hey... let's look at the numbers.

IVF currently accounts for about 2% of live births in Ontario. With only a 30% success rate and an estimated 4000 women taking advantage of the Premier's largesse, this would result in 1200 births annually at a additional cost of $58,000 per Corningware baby.

For the religious and ethically sensitive among us, note that multiple eggs are removed for each procedure and extra fertilised embryos are routinely destroyed if not used.

Just something to think about while you're sitting stalled in traffic this winter...

The provincial auditor reported in April that the Liberal government did save money on winter road maintenance over the last five years, but at a cost that included taking twice as long to clear highways of snow or ice than it did previously.

Prior to the contract changes in 2009, Ontario’s most travelled highways were cleared about 2.1 hours after a storm, but auditor general Bonnie Lysyk said that increased to an average of 4.7 hours by 2013-14.

But wait, it gets better.Kathleen Wynne decided to hand back the monies that these companies had forfeited for non-performance and then buy them new equipment.

The auditor reported that the Wynne government waived $4.8 million of $13.3 million in fines levied against contractors in the winter of 2013/14, while another $5.2 million was being reassessed, reducing the fines by up to 76 per cent.

It's like Dalton McGuinty paying a huge corporation a billion dollars not to build a gas plant. The malfeasance never ends.

Carillion has eight contracts with the province - worth $87 million a year - to maintain highways around Chatham, London, Peel and Halton regions, Simcoe, Huntsville, Thunder Bay, Bancroft and the Kingston area.

Who owns Carillion and how much do they contribute to the Liberal Party of Ontario?

This past winter, the service cuts hit home. The explanation given was a reduction in the number of plows and the closure of three salt yards in Northumberland County.

The current contractor, Carillion Canada Inc., is only allowed nine plows compared to the 17 run the previous company, Cruickshank Construction. Basically, the service was cut in half to save money.

Despite measures such as this the provincial Liberals are still running a horrendous deficit. Where is all that money going?

Sundridge, ON – On November 12, 2013, the Ontario Court of Justice ordered Carillion Canada Inc. to pay a total penalty of $250,000 for violating two counts of the Fisheries Act for “the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction of fish habitat”, and one count of violating Section 36(3) for “depositing or permitting the deposit of a deleterious substance into waters frequented by fish.”

The violations stem from repeated sediment spills, and the subsequent destruction of fish habitat in Stirling Creek, which is part of the the Magnetawan River watershed near Parry Sound.

Not surprisingly, the government itself was mixed up in this incident.

The sentencing decision for the Ontario Ministry of Transportation took place on September 24, 2013, when it was also ordered to pay a total penalty of $250,000.

In a similar vein... I keep telling the Toronto activist group, "Queers Against Israeli Apartheid" they should really take a bus tour of the Arab Middle East, but so far, inexplicably, no one seems to be that enthusiastic.
